Sounds like they are both making tools under the Craftsman name if there is a royalty fee to be paid, Will be interesting to see if quality will be at a similar level.Cadcom is correct.....last year Sears sold the "Craftsman" tool name to Stanley. In the agreement, Sears will carry the Craftsman tools for 10 years....after then Sears will have to pay a royalty to Stanley....if Sears decides to keep carrying the Craftsman tools. So far "I don't think" Stanley has not made a statement whether they will continue to keep the "lifetime" guaranty.....but so far they are honoring it.
Do you know if they have moved any of the manufacturing back to the U.S, yet? The last time I looked they were all still made overseas.
